088 - I was a Teenage Christian Nationalist with April Ajoy

We talk with April Ajoy, a well-known viral TikToker, YouTuber and podcaster. She describes herself as a “recovering conservative, humorously detoxing religion.” Raised as a pastor's kid, April was deep in Evangelicalism to the point of working for The 700 Club and singing her original song, America Say Jesus on The Jim Bakker Show. While deconstructing from fundamentalism, she walked away from her Christian nationalist beliefs and began to make irreverent and funny videos lampooning modern Evangelical culture and church life.  You can connect with April on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/aprilajoyr  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilajoy  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aprilajoy  -- Transcript of the episode is here.
